A Older Monument has been Redone

More than three years ago, I posted about a monument in Montenegro that had fallen off everyone's radar. It was a monument to and antifascist war hero that fought against the Nazi's and their allies in WWII. Well, I just looked and last year the state cleaned and updated it. 

This is an image before it was cleaned and repaired last year.  It was dedicated towards the war hero Sava Kovačević. He is at the front of the statue.
The various blocks are arranged in groups. Until the final picture (below) I had no idea how these were set in relationship to the original. They are each dedicated to the antifascist fighters from the region.


From the July 2020 fix to this. Now cleaned and reset.


Steps lead up the hill to the monumental statue at the top. 


With this arial shot I finally see the relationship between the state and the concrete blocks.

This state was abandoned originally due to an earthquake, not general neglect. But the government of Montenegro decided to repair it recently. I want to go see it.
